1. To collect (salvageable material) by searching.
There are ways to search and collect and then there is doing it in style in luxury limousines with your friends and colleagues. That is where we come in. Our limo hunt last Friday was done for a great law firm, Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP and this is what they had to say:

“The feedback has all been positive.  Everyone had a great time.  The host was very good.  He had just the right amount of enthusiasm to get us all pumped up right at the beginning. Thanks for everything!”

Treasure Hunting Team Building!

Posted by Chris on Wednesday, July 27th, 2011 - 6:03 pm

What a happy ending that will now introduce a new team building event – Treasure Hunting!  On Sunday, my wife lost her wedding ring at the beach but thanks to Chris Turner from www.lostjewellery.com and his private ring and treasure finders my wife’s ring was found two days later. They asked for nothing for the hours spent combing the beach, of course I offered a reward. My wife’s tears of sadness (and there were many) turned to tears of shear joy!

This has given birth to a new teambuilding treasure hunting concept and we will be putting it to test and developing it over the next little bit.

Concept: Teams will go to pre-determined areas where “treasure” has been hidden, they will then use metal detectors outside or special locator devices inside to procure as much “treasure” as possible. Working as teams, they must decide the best patterns and strategy to find the treasure. It can involve multiple locations, travel, digging, maps, detectors, gps and above all, it will be fun.

Stay tuned for this new offering from Slixer Entertainment! If you would like a Treasure Hunt, simply email chris@slixer.com and we’ll offer you a great rate as our first treasure hunt testers.
